Overview of Rutgers Faculty

Most Rutgers University faculty are currently members of the AAUP-AFT. We aim to organize all faculty into one union to amplify everyone's voices and strengthen the representation of all faculty.

6,714 full- and part-time faculty across all campuses

99% of faculty hold a Ph.D. or other terminal degree

Among peer public institutions (public universities in the Association of American Universities), Rutgers is fourth in the nation for full-time female faculty, fourteenth in the nation for full-time African American faculty, and fifteenth in the nation for full-time total minority faculty

Faculty include an Abel Prize winner, Guggenheim Fellows, MacArthur “Genius Award” Fellows, Pulitzer Prize winners, National Medal of Science and National Medal of Technology recipients, a National Endowment for the Arts “Jazz Master” and many more

As we continue our fight for a fair PTL contract, the faculty senate in Camden and New Brunswick have overwhelmingly voted to approve resolutions in support of a fair contract for part-time faculty. Language can be found here:
